And yes, master tapes played through good machines, IEC eq'd, Doshi, Bottlehead or Haviland preamps in the chain can't be beat by vinyl. Too bad those tapes are just so sky high expensive. A friend has about 3 years worth of Tape Project subscriptions. He brings them over occasionally and lets me play them on my BR-20. I enjoy that a lot.
I need to get a Haviland pre for it. Been looking around for a used one.

With tapes that expensive I can see some illicit R2R copying going on. Second or third generation can't be too bad. Just saying'
